[Healeys] [Fwd: overheating BN1]

[Alan Seigrist]

Jess -

Have you tried running the car without the thermostat?  Take it out, it is
pretty easy to remove, and see if you still have an overheating problem?
 Could be a bad thermostat, common problem.

Also, have you tried the putting  the temp gauge bulb in a pot of boiling
water and see what it reads?  You gauge could be reading too high, very
common.

Your BN1 should run very cool.  My A90 (same engine & radiator) in Hong Kong
never overheats, even in traffic, and it is hot here.
